this year after week 2 of the nfl I was watching espn late and they were doing a full-on deep dive on what chances teams statistically have of making the playoffs after going 0-2!!! like week 3 and you are like “shit, can’t lose next week…”

what is fascinating to me as a european living in the US is that NFL is absolute garbage of a sport and it is insane that other sports are not more popular. NFL games are 3 hours of which 2 hours and 50 minutes not a damn fucking thing is happening. the TV broadcast people make more money than all but handful of players on each team (understandably so, they have to entertain you for 2 hours and 50 minutes of nothingness), there is just commercial after commercial… like absolute madness the sport is actually popular to watch. I thought maybe fantasy and gambling are main reasons but you can do both without watching the games
Github copilot still sucks for writing complex code (algorithms or database queries, e.g.). Or trying to do unpopular things (like custom electronics using particular micros and driver chips).

For unit tests, it's a godsend. Particularly if you write one unit test, and then it can write another in the style you wrote.
Which begs the question, what did he see or could testify about while he was there that is not this, but so much worse?

The issue is even if Intel builds these fabs it's not a guarantee they get the customers.

This is Intel's real problem.

They are also a competitor to many of their potential customers.

So, Intel needs to advance their foundry tech and they still may not get customers.
If it's a useful, harmless feature, then let users opt-in. You'd think Apple would have learned their lesson after a decade of people bitching about U2 being secreted-in to their iTunes library, but apparently not.

>A large number of them had the exact same cover letter with changes in the names and past jobs.

I mean when I write a cover letter I take the cover letter I took the last time and change a couple of names and that's it.

Why do I want the job? I want the job because I do work for money, I don't have some idea that your SaaS is really giving me anything that any of the others I've worked at in the past didn't give me - no company means anything to me aside from having reasonably interesting problems to work on and hopefully not onerous working environment.
Exactly. It's the height of arrogance to insist that normal users just can't understand such complex words and math, and therefore the company should not have to obtain consent from the user. As a normal lay user, I don't want anything to leave my device or computer without my consent. Period. That includes personal information, user data, metadata, private vectors, homomorphic this or locally differential that. I don't care how private Poindexter assures me it is. Ask. For. Consent.

Don't do things without my consent!!! How hard is it for Silicon Valley to understand this very simple concept?

Traditional search still works. Ask anyone who uses kagi. Google makes more money (for now) with garbage search, so they're optimizing for garbage. Thing is, garbage in, garage out, and it will eventually catch up with them (might already have given the disparity between Gemini and Claude/cgpt)
An iOS "local VPN" could definitely block all traffic to Apple IP ranges. But it lacks the ability to associate traffic with the originating process/framework. Like if, for example, I wanted to only allow iMessage to talk to Apple but nothing else. This is what Little Snitch and other software gives you on macOS/Linux/etc.

But even blanket blocking of all Apple IP ranges probably wouldn't do anything here. As documented, your device sends noise injected image vectors to OHTTP relays and doesn't contact Apple directly. By definition those relays are operated by 3rd parties. So if you consider this type of data "phoning home" you'll need to find the IPs of all of OHTTP relays iOS uses. (or block the traffic that looks up the OHTTP relays).
So because of policy choices made by app developers, you have to manage multiple cloud solutions.

Or as the GP suggested, forego the cloud entirely. iCloud and Apple’s built in iOS backup is not a magic bullet unfortunately.

Due to the wealth disparities involved, a month’s Silicon Valley money is a years income for a scammer in a poor country.

And none of these can sync your bookmarks, iOS settings or store the internal state of apps on your iPhone.

And I wouldn’t have the same arguments if they weee using Google cloud. But they are concerned about “privacy” and trust Google?

But my argument is about people thinking that Apple or Google should care about the minuscule number of people who are hosting their own syncing services

"and really don't like public transit."

I don't like bad public transit either.

"Americans don't like being around other Americans "

There could be the option of having personal cabins for yourself.
Even here with HN crowd: it's not an index, it's not stored on a server, and it's not typical send-securely encryption (not PK or symmetric "encrypted in transit", but homomorphic "encrypted processing"). Users will think that's all gibberish (ask a user if they want to send an index or vector representation? no clue).

Sure, you can ask users "do you want to use this". But why do we ask that? Historically it's user consent (knowingly opting in), and legal requirements around privacy. We don't have that pop up on any random new feature, it's gated to ones with some risk. There are questions to ask: does this technical method have any privacy risk? Can the user make informed consent? Again: I'm not pitching we ditch opt-in (I really don't have a fix in mind), but I feel like we're defaulting too quickly to "old tools for new problems". The old way is services=collection=consent. These are new privacy technologies which use a service, but the privacy is applied locally before leaving your device, and you don't need to trust the service (if you trust the DP/HE research).

End of the day: I'd really like to see more systems like this. I think there were technically flawed statements in the original blog article under discussion. I think new design methods might be needed when new technologies come into play. I don't have any magic answers.
Anyone can "rug-pull" a project, whether it currently has non-free features or not. You can't retract already-published versions, but anyone can make non-free plugins or forks for existing MIT-licensed code (GitLab and Gitea are MIT).

I guess some might think that because they do non-free parts now they are likely to make more of it non-free later, is that the argument? If yes I don't really like this Minority Report approach to judging projects for what you think they might do.
Thanks for the feedback.

Artists have always made their money with live events. Back when people bought CDs, artists got a tiny fraction of a fraction of the sale price. These days they get a slightly larger fraction of a smaller price. A handful of artists at the top of the charts can make bank, and the rest struggle, as always.

I don’t see any solution short of some massive government arts program. It comes down to supply and demand. Most musicians play for a love of music. They would (and many do) play music even if they got no money for it at all. That makes for a glut of musicians and a really low equilibrium price of labor.

We see a similar phenomenon (on a much smaller scale) in tech with games. Lots of people really like making games. They’d do it for free. Getting paid for it at all is a dream. Result: pay is not great in that segment of the industry. Not many of us dream of adding some features to CRUD apps and as a result that pays better.
I used ULIDs for a time until i discovered snowflake ids. They are (“only”) 64 bits, but incorporate timestamps and randomness as well. They take up way less space than ULIDs for this purpose and offer acceptably rare collisions for things I’ve worked on.
GDPR isn't the cookie law. It is a law regulating storage of personal data overall. The banners are a result of greed and incompetence. The companies made stupid amount of money by closely profiling every single individual using cookies and fingerprinting. They are in malicious compliance and if the behavior continues the regulation may become more stringent.
If that’s the case, you aren’t using email either or messaging?

Is anyone else noticing the number of whistleblower deaths occurring? Boeing has had several in the past year.

This is the part that really frustrates me. Not that I've researched, but it seems like trains should have basically unlimited space for passengers, at very little increase in cost -- a five-mile-long train takes maybe 1-2 more people to operate than a 1-mile train? So why doesn't the U.S. lean into the sleeper concept? If we could increase speeds to 90mph and have affordable sleeper cars, trips of up to 1,000 miles would be conveniently achievable -- that's Chicago to Dallas, Los Angeles to Denver, or Miami to Washington, D.C.
Inb4 we all tell you you're using it wrong. There are certainly better ways to do this, but this is really the major thing that drives me nuts. No matter how many times I tell some LLM I want it to ask clarifying questions to provide better answers, it just won't. You end up doing exactly this, guessing what information might trigger the right recall.
Now with the impeding tariffs do we have any viable microcontroller alternatives for us hobbyists ? Aka cheap, feature rich and well documented?
I might be wrong, but truly believe that you're another victim of bad implemented AI. Something triggered a bad switch, probably due to buying too many domains in such a small ammount of time? Like if you were using the domains for spam or something. Hope it gets fixed soon.

And that's not even enough: A few weeks ago I had to interview someone who had what appeared to be a realistic profile. Everything that came out of their mouth was from chatGPT It was suspicious, but the ruse became clear when they shared the wrong screen, so we could see his prompt, and how everything we said was being read in.

At this point every remote internet checklist has to include checks for humanity, because the percentage of straight out fakes is too high. Even the questions to ask me at the end were GPT provided.
> Intel's whitepaper claimed that a typical user would encounter a problem once every 27,000 years, insignificant compared to other sources of error such as DRAM bit flips.

> However, IBM performed their own analysis,29 suggesting that the problem could hit customers every few days.

I bet these aren’t as far off as they seem. Intel seems to be considering a single user, while I suspect IBM is thinking in terms of support calls.

This is a problem I’ve had at work. When you process a 100 million requests a day the one in a billion problem is hitting you a few times a month. If it’s something a customer or worse a manager notices, they ignore the denominator and suspect you all of incompetence. Four times a month can translate into “all the time” in the manner humans bias their experiences. If you get two statistical clusters of three in a week someone will lose their shit.

You're linking to a fake website made by the private company behind Proton Mail, that tries to present itself as an official EU site. What they claim will be in their own financial interest, and not what the GDPR law says.

This is not an official EU Commission or Government resource. The europa.eu webpage concerning GDPR can be found here. Nothing found in this portal constitutes legal advice."
Well, one or the other, at any rate :-)
yes, i think shell is quite well known to have done stuff like this in the niger delta. and brazil has all sorts of shady shenanigans.

but i simply do not believe any conspiracy theory i've seen about domestic US assassination by billion+ dollar company and i think people need to be realistic about the often cluster B individuals who tend to make whistleblower claims and their likelihood of suicide.
I don't necessarily disagree with you. But the word "communism" is synonymous with state directed production, and often it is in the name of state determined living standards for the sake of improvement of those standards. That's always been the pitch, and that's always been the methodology.

This "study" is exactly that, verbatim. It's communism dressed up as science, as blatant as I think it can be done.

Now, we can talk about policies that might make something better or worse, pros and cons, whether the state should direct or influence certain industries for whatever reason, all that. But this article isn't doing that. It's recommending straight communism as a solution to all the worlds ills, that's all it is doing.
Completely, 100% agreed:

> the only way to guarantee computing privacy is to not send data off the device.

> It ought to be up to the individual user to decide their own tolerance for the risk of privacy violations. [...] By enabling the "feature" without asking, Apple disrespects users and their preferences. I never wanted my iPhone to phone home to Apple.

Regardless of how obfuscated or "secure" or otherwise "privacy-protecting" the feature is, the fact is that some information derived from one's personal content is transmitted, without prior consent. Even if the information is protected, all network queries are information. A timestamp that proves you took a certain action at a certain time (like taking a photo, assuming stuff is sent to this service immediately upon adding a new photo), from a certain location (by correlating your location information at that time), etc etc.. and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Transmitting information from a user's device without their explicit consent is a violation of their privacy.

>you voted wrong

No, there are not that many jobs. There is a normal amount of jobs, and there are lot of unskilled workers trying to get those jobs. A large amount of the jobs are being listed for senior level skillset and experience, and there's just not that many of those candidates. It's even harder to find them when hiring managers are awash in unskilled candidates who look similar, with no discernible way to sort them out.

So the CEOs are claiming there aren't enough skilled workers, because it's technically true. The main problem is they've raised their standards [for the same wages], there was never that many experts just hanging around looking for jobs, and they shoot themselves in the foot.

They could fill positions pretty quickly. But our whole industry is a bad joke. "Highly Skilled" positions, where we don't have any quantifiable standards or qualifications, and we divine candidates from a stack of hundreds of applicants by software scanning pieces of paper for buzzwords. The final irony being these jobs can all be done remote, yet these CEOs claiming there's no candidates are requiring people live close to an office. If you've ever wanted proof that human beings are generally irrational and stupid, look no further.
And so in this context.

You are saying that every network request is going to a target controlled by the US government.
This line of reasoning makes far too many assumptions and falls apart in a conspiracy.

That's why laws are written in broad strokes and redirect exact specification to regulations written by regulatory committees, at least in Continental Europe (i.e. Civil Law system). You don't need to make new laws just update regulatory text.

The typical way to make a living from open source is to use your work as a portfolio to get a job doing closed-source development. Then if you keep working on your open source stuff it’s either for fun or to keep your portfolio up to date for when you want to switch jobs.

A "fake controversy", really?

The article mentions that the Venice Charter, which the France signed, "calls for the preservation of original work unless absolutely necessary" (from the OP). Several patrimonial organizations announced legal actions if the present glass windows are removed.

From what I've read, the only actors in favor are changing the undamaged windows are a handful of politicians, from the State or the Church. All the professionals of the domain (old monuments) have rejected it, including the official Committee which unanimously voted against it. Even the Académie des Beaux-Arts, where the designated artist was studying, made its opposition public.

Well, propose an alternative then. Our existing ground internet can be taken out by something as cheap and simple as a heavy piece of metal dropped in one or more strategic, unguarded locations from a modestly-sized ship, and nearly anyone can do it. With an orbital internet, only a small number of agents, nations basically, could launch the orbital weapons to cause destruction.

A mix of both is ideal, more robust. Also, nukes in orbit is movie stuff. In reality the vacuum makes them absurdly weak for the cost and political fallout of launching them. Other weapons would be used to take out satellites. Hell, a precisely aimed lug nut would do the trick.
